The term “analog” means it has a very similar molecular structure, with minor differences in the arrangement of its atoms.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cannabinoid is mildly intoxicating; it has half the potency of delta 9 THC, which is the main reason why some people call it “diet cannabis” or “cannabis light.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from that, delta-8 THC offers several therapeutic properties, including relief from nausea, anxiety, pain, and sleep disturbances.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Long story short, Delta 8 is another wellness product from cannabis that people choose to experiment with different cannabinoids.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best thing about delta 8 THC is that it’s federally legal — at least from the sheer legislative standpoint.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ll get to that in a second, but let’s discuss the differences between delta 8 THC and delta 9 THC.</span></p> <p><em><strong>Read more: </strong></em><a href="https://cfah.org/what-is-delta-8-thc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>What is Delta 8 THC?</em></a></p> <h3><span id="How_Is_Delta_8_THC_Different_from_Delta_9_THC"><b>How Is Delta 8 THC Different from Delta 9 THC?</b></span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As mentioned, delta 8 THC is an analog of delta 9.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As such, it has a similar chemical structure, with a very subtle difference that may be insignificant for those who aren’t interested in chemistry.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system, a vast neurochemical network that keeps the body in a state of balance (homeostasis). Delta 8 THC and delta 9 THC share a similar mechanism of action; in other words, they both engage with the CB1 receptors in the brain — the main reason both compounds can get the user high.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the main contrast is in their chemical bonds. Delta 8 THC has a double bond on the eight carbon chains, while delta 9 THC has the same double bond on the ninth carbon chain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This, in turn, causes the aforementioned difference in their potency.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To experience the same high intensity as with delta 9 THC, you’d need to take twice as much delta 8.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delta 8 THC is also picked by users who are sensitive to the psychoactive effects of THC. In higher doses, THC may elevate anxiety and cause paranoia, which is why some people choose to avoid high-THC cannabis products.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With delta 8, the incidence of these side effects is much lower.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now back to the legal status… Is delta 8 THC legal?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s briefly overview the federal laws and the confusion surrounding the legality of delta 8 products (including <a href="https://cfah.org/best-delta-8-gummies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">edibles</a>, <a href="https://cfah.org/best-delta-8-thc-vape-carts/">vape carts</a>, and <a href="https://cfah.org/best-delta-8-thc-tinctures/">tinctures</a>.)</span></p> <h2><span id="Is_Delta_8_THC_Legal"><b>Is Delta 8 THC Legal?</b></span></h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6183" src="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Legality_of_Delta_8_THC.jpg" alt="image of a wooden gavel and a hemp leaf on a white background" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Legality_of_Delta_8_THC.jpg 800w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Legality_of_Delta_8_THC-300x169.jpg 300w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Legality_of_Delta_8_THC-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Legality_of_Delta_8_THC-720x405.jpg 720w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Legality_of_Delta_8_THC-105x59.jpg 105w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Legality_of_Delta_8_THC-70x39.jpg 70w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cannabis websites and discussion forums are full of contradictory information on the legal status of delta 8 THC.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Delta 9 THC is explicitly prohibited — it comes from marijuana, which has more than 0.3% of the compound — other cannabinoids may be exempt from the federal provisions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because the 2018 Farm Bill made a clear distinction between hemp and marijuana.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While both plants are similar in their genetic makeup, they come with different concentrations of delta-9 THC.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marijuana is high in THC, whereas hemp only contains 0.3% or less. The 2018 Farm Bill states, "all hemp derivatives (cannabinoids, analogs, etc.) are completely legal in the United States as long as they do not contain more than 0.3% of THC.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best part about making delta 8 THC products?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They can be extracted from hemp.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To answer the yet unasked question: yes, extracting delta 8 THC directly from hemp is super cost-prohibitive due to the low concentrations of delta 9 in hemp.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But like we said, creative entrepreneurial souls have come up with methods that enable efficient delta 8 extraction — using less conventional methods than the pressurized CO2.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before we get down to how delta 8 THC is made, let’s focus on how the DEA treats the cannabinoid. As with all new cannabis products, delta 8 extracts have already raised controversies among government officials.</span></p> <h3><span id="What_Is_the_DEAs_Stance_on_the_Legality_of_Delta_8_THC"><b>What Is the DEA’s Stance on the Legality of Delta 8 THC?</b></span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DEA includes delta 8 THC on its list of controlled substances (updated August 2020) under “tetrahydrocannabinol.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, section 12619(b) of the 2018 Farm Bill — its last provision — carved out “tetrahydrocannabinol in hemp.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This includes any type of THC from hemp plants that contain 0.3% of THC or less. Hemp-derived products (including those containing delta 8 THC) are legal on a federal level, while marijuana remains illegal. Delta 9 is only legal in states that have legalized recreational marijuana.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although it’s unlikely that the USDA intended to create a loophole for people to get high legally, it’s a fact that delta 8 THC may have gone under the radar. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In their case against delta 8 THC, the DEA implies that “the [2018 Farm Bill] does not impact the control status of synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinol (for Controlled Substance Code Number 7370) because the statutory definition of ‘hemp’ is limited to materials that are derived from the plant Cannabis sativa L. For synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinol, the concentration of delta 9 THC is not a determining factor in whether the material is a controlled substance. All synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinol remains a schedule I controlled substance.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Does it mean that the DEA has just burst the bubble of people hoping to experience a legal high?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lawyers beg to disagree.</span></p> <h3><span id="What_Are_Lawyers_Saying"><b>What Are Lawyers Saying?</b></span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The legal landscape for delta 8 THC products is contradictory at best.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, lawyers believe the Farm Bill is on their side. According to people specializing in cannabis laws, delta 8 THC is federally legal as long as it is extracted from hemp.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The process manufacturers employ to obtain delta 8 from cannabis fits in the definition of “organic extractions.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In order for the delta 8 THC to be extracted synthetically, a group of lab workers would need to create this compound in laboratory conditions using synthetic ingredients and specialized lab equipment.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Current extraction methods are anything but synthetic. Of course, they require several toxic chemicals to convert other cannabinoids to delta 8 THC, but </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Below we shed more light on how delta 8 THC is made — and how it affects its legality.</span></p> <h2><span id="Factors_that_Determine_the_Legal_Status_of_Delta_8_THC"><b>Factors that Determine the Legal Status of Delta 8 THC</b></span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All cannabinoids start from CBGA (cannabigerolic acid). The enzymes in the cannabis plant use CBGA to synthesize CBD, THC, CBC, CBDV, and more.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, no enzymes could allow cannabis to convert CBG directly into delta 8 THC.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delta 8 is the byproduct of delta 9 THC’s degradation. Most of the delta-9 THC converts into CBN (cannabinol), which is approximately 10% as potent as THC. A very small amount of delta 9 transforms into delta 8.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even marijuana strains that are high in THC have about 1% or less delta 8 THC by weight.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Manufacturers looking to yield high quantities of delta-8 THC can extract it using two methods:</span><b></b></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><b>Convert delta 9 THC into Delta 8 THC </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">– this is the most efficient method, but it’s only legal in states with legal recreational markets since it uses marijuana plants as the source.</span></li> <li aria-level="1"><b>Convert CBD to Delta 9 THC and then to Delta 8 </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">– it’s a more complicated method but legal on a federal level.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Extracting delta 8 THC using a conversion process from CBD requires solvents, reagents, and acids. Therefore it calls for knowledgeable lab technicians and high-tech equipment to ensure the bases are properly purged of any toxic chemicals. Otherwise, the final product can be dangerous for your health.</span></p> <h3><span id="How_to_Make_Sure_Your_Delta_8_Product_Is_Legal"><b>How to Make Sure Your Delta 8 Product Is Legal</b></span></h3> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://cfah.org/best-delta-8-thc-brands/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Purchase from reputable brands</a> that can ensure proper certification (third-party lab reports) to prove their product’s purity and ensure the delta 9 THC content at 0.3% or below.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use hemp-derived delta 8 THC for a federally legal product.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Order marijuana-derived delta 8 THC from cannabis dispensaries if you live in a state with a recreational marijuana market to ensure the highest quality.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Watch out for scammy companies churning out low-quality extracts that contain higher than federally-approved amounts of delta 9 THC.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t buy delta 8 THC on the cheap; it’s not a “cheap” product, and nothing indicates it will change anytime soon.</span></li> </ul> <h2><span id="How_to_Find_a_Trusted_Delta_8_Vendor"><b>How to Find a Trusted Delta 8 Vendor</b></span></h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6184" src="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Buy-Delta-8-THC-Legally-in-US.jpg" alt="close up image of a glove focusing on United States with hemp leaves on top of it" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Buy-Delta-8-THC-Legally-in-US.jpg 800w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Buy-Delta-8-THC-Legally-in-US-300x169.jpg 300w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Buy-Delta-8-THC-Legally-in-US-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Buy-Delta-8-THC-Legally-in-US-720x405.jpg 720w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Buy-Delta-8-THC-Legally-in-US-105x59.jpg 105w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Buy-Delta-8-THC-Legally-in-US-70x39.jpg 70w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Delta 8 THC space is a new and booming market. Similar to the situation of the CBD industry, it lacks regulation because the FDA hasn’t yet investigated its efficacy and safety. This scenario creates opportunities for scammy companies to thrive in the growing market, luring unaware customers with low prices, legal highs, miracle cures, and whatnot.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first checkpoint on your list should be third-party testing. Does the company run laboratory tests for every batch of its products? If yes, what do these tests cover? Do they only list the potency of delta 8 THC, or do they also look for common contaminants and potentially dangerous additives? Third-party testing should be as detailed as possible — and proven with an up-to-date Certificate of Analysis (COA).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another factor to consider is the source of your delta 8 product. Marijuana-derived extracts are illegal on a federal level, but you're in the clear as long as your product comes from hemp. It’s important that the hemp is grown organically, in clean soil, and without pesticides or growth boosters. Such plants grow cannabinoid-rich buds and ensure higher delta 8 yields.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last but not least, mind the company’s reputation. Suppose you are looking to <a href="https://cfah.org/best-delta-8-products-for-sale/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">buy Delta 8 products online</a>. In that case, you have to consider those with lots of positive reviews on third-party websites (such as Area 52 or Finest Labs) as they are a better source of delta 8 THC than companies with no history or success record among customers. You might want to consider buying D8 products online rather than locally, as it <a href="https://cfah.org/delta-8-thc-near-me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gives you the advantage</a> of intensively checking these details.</span></p> <h2><span id="What_Are_the_Benefits_of_Using_Delta_8_THC"><b>What Are the Benefits of Using Delta 8 THC?</b></span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delta 8 THC offers similar health benefits to delta 9 THC but with a much lower incidence of the side effects like anxiety and paranoia.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There haven’t been many studies on the effects of delta 8, but what we know so far points us to the following benefits:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pain reduction</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nausea relief</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lowered inflammation</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mood elevation</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better stress response</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reduced anxiety</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Appetite stimulation</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neuroprotection</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As researchers understand how cannabinoids work within the body, we may soon expect a surge of studies regarding the health benefits and <a href="https://cfah.org/is-delta-8-thc-safe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">safety of delta 8 THC</a> and the increase in the availability of d8 products such as edibles, tinctures, and vapes.</span></p> <h2><span id="Final_Thoughts"><b>Final Thoughts</b></span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To summarize, delta 8 THC is federally legal as long as it is extracted naturally from hemp. Marijuana-derived delta 8 products can only be purchased in states that have legalized recreational marijuana use. The extraction method is another factor influencing the legality of D8. Products made using the natural conversion process from CBD are compliant with the provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That being said, the DEA continues to hold its negative stance toward the legal status of delta 8 THC. However, their argumentation is wrong on many levels, one being the distinction between synthetic and natural extractions. Synthetically derived delta 8 is nearly nonexistent, so for the time being, the majority of D8 products are legal.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So far, only 11 states have decided to ban the sale of delta 8 THC. You won’t buy it in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, Rhode Island, and Utah.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to ensure you’re buying a 100% legal product, check for third-party lab reports and always buy from reputable manufacturers who can deliver the standards we’ve discussed in this article.</span></p> </div> <footer class="col-xs-12 single--footer"> <div class="single--author row"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3 col-0 author--avatar"> <a href="https://www.cfah.org/about-us/"> <img alt='' src='https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/nina-julia-150x150.jpg' class='avatar avatar-96' height='96' width='96' /> </a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-9 col-0 author--meta"> <div class="author--meta-name"> <h5> <a href="https://www.cfah.org/about-us/">Nina Julia</a> </h5> </div> <div class="author--meta-description"> <p>Nina created CFAH.org following the birth of her second child.
